Hi all rahmanic's
(Bit long one but kindly have a glimpse)
the comparison of ARR & SRT is really good one,expcet a few.
.....like
"successor"
"ARR: His successors like Yuvan Shankar Raja and Himesh Reshammiya are
more successful than him right now"
guy's still ARR making is record in audio sales and when it's come's to hi budget or hi5 movies (sivaji) both in tamil or hindi , the only person who demanded for music is ARR (any comparmise on that)..... if you say that YSR or Him Rsh is successful now y they aren't getting some classic hi5 productions.
it is not very easy to offord ARR like others.
can someone answer this ...?
y can't YSR get some hindi movies......?
Y can't Him Resh compose for some classic no's (water,RDB)
don't ever compare ARR with latest MD now .he is doin music for more than 15yr."don't compare and make other people popular"
hey don't take it very sensitive i just expressed my thoughts
does it make sense.........?

A.R.Rahman & Sachin Tendulkar - A comparison
Many people who became die-hard Rahman fans in the 90s were also
hardcore Sachin fans (including me!). I have seen this in many
cases... My friend Radhakrishnan who is also a Rahmaniac also was of
the same opinion! I think this phenomenon is not without a reason,
the reason being similarities between the two. Got this interesting
comparison by Maddy, from ForumHub:
A startling but very logical coincidences between 2 of the greatest
men of 90's......they characterised the 90's and were icons of the
youth at that time......just see the startling similarities between
these 2:
Entry into their respective fields:
A.R.Rahman (ARR): 1992
Sachin Tendulkar (SRT): 1989
They were an instant hit because:
ARR: Blasting music, classical songs at a very young age
SRT: Swashbuckling batting and a great cricketing sense at a very
young age
How they stood out from others?
ARR: First to bring digital touch to Indian music and compose fusion
that no one else dares to think off.
SRT: First to explore the first 15-over restriction, score centuries
at bouncy, tough tracks like Perth.
As time moved on:
ARR: Stopped producing blasting music, instead delivered Classical
melodies like Taal, Swades, Bose, Meenaxi and Tehzeeb out of maturity.
SRT: Stopped going over the top to bowlers, instead played exquisite
drives and late cuts and produced innings with a lot of maturity.
Character similarity:
ARR: Shy towards media and lets his keyboard answer his critics
SRT: Shy towards media and lets his bat answer his critics
Media point of view:
ARR: Darling of Mumbai and London press
SRT: Darling of Mumbai and London press
International attention:
ARR: Admired by Andrew Lloyd Webber , Micheal jackson (who wore a t-
shirt having Rahman's photo on it) and many other international music
reviewers who want him to compose for Hollywood films.
SRT: Adored by the man himself the "DON" Bradman and Mike Atherton
(who compared Sachin to W.G.Grace) and a never ending list of
Australian, English, Kiwi, WestIndian players.
Earnings:
ARR: Draws 1 Crore/ film, ambassador of Bharti telecom, sizzled with
the Airtel ad
SRT: Unimaginable money on contracts with big commercial giants.
Sizzles in Pepsi ads.
Records:
ARR: 4 national awards, 17 filmfare awards, his music sold 210
million copies around the world (more than Britney and Madonna put
together!!) and success rate of 80%+ album sales in Indian movies.
SRT: Look at this for a record: 37 ODI centuries, 35 TEST centuries,
13,000+ runs in ODI's, 44+ average in ODI's and 58+ average in Tests.
What else u can ask for?
Popularity:
ARR: Has a huge fan following in India and in south he is a demi-god
and captures the imagination of NRI's throughout the world
SRT: According to a survey, he is the most popular man in the Country
edging out the Prime Minister and Shah-Rukh-Khan. He is popular even
in places like U.S where the game is not that popular (featured in an
exclusive article in an American sports magazine)
Career Graph & Present form:
ARR: Had fabulous nineties with all his albums doing well in this
time. Reached dizzying heights during this period. Have had flops
with major banners
since 2001, which got the critics interested. Had a great 2003 within
this lean patch with Boys creating sales records. His fans base
however is intact, proved that with success of Ah Aah album.
SRT: The star of 90's, his batting propelled him into a youth icon
status in India and was concurred with many awards from the
government. Being pressurized by the detractors for a imaginary loss
of form and injury worries since 2001. Had a great world cup 2003
scoring runs at will. Recently has had a good innings in a one-day
match to prove that he is still fit.
(Their career-graph is one of the most fascinating things I have ever
noticed, they always seem to have good times together. Bad times also
coincides for both of them)
Fans:
ARR: Die-hard fans want him to go back to 90's style of composing
SRT:Never say die fans want him to take up 90's style of
swashbuckling batting.
Successors:
ARR: His successors like Yuvan Shankar Raja and Himesh Reshammiya are
more successful than him right now but no way near to him in terms of
class.
SRT: Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif are more popular with people than
him right now but as the old west-Indian saying goes: "Form is
temporary, but class is permanent".
Duplicates:
ARR: Has a duplicate called Harris Jeyaraj who not only copies ARR's
music and composing style but also his hairstyle and way of speaking
in interviews.
SRT: Virendar Sehwag, a natural duplicate of sachin with looks and
batting style similar to him. Called "Najafgarh ka Tendulkar".
(Najafgarh is Virendar Sehwag's hometown.)
Where will they end up?:
ARR: Probably will put India into the world map of music and create
records which upcoming Indian M.D's can't even dream of.
SRT: It would probably take an android or a special species of human
being to erase his record in Cricket. Will always be remembered as
the greatest ever batsman of modern era.
